Serena Williams is the Champion of the Black Female Power

Description

Serena Williams marks her seventh Wimbledon singles title with a ‘move reminiscent of John Carlos’s black power salute at the 1968 Olympics’. Photograph: Glyn Kirk/AFP/Getty Images Though Serena Williams was smiling, when she raised her fist after beating Germany’s Angelique Kerber to win Wimbledon for the seventh time, it was a move reminiscent of John Carlos’s black power salute at the 1968 Olympics. Black Twitter swooned. Here was a woman who had just equalled Steffi Graf’s open era record of major titles using her platform, albeit in a small way, to show her support to the black community in one of the most tragic weeks in its recent history.

  • Life Imitates Art: Indonesian Con Man Poses As Female Hollywood Power Players

    Hollywood loves a good con artist story, but a man who excelled at imitating powerful women may have hit a little too close to home. Newser reports the FBI has just announced the arrest of a suspect believed to be the 'Con Queen of Hollywood.' Hargobind Tahilramani would impersonate prominent women in the industry and pitch bogus projects to actors and Hollywood gig workers. In turn, they would shell out cash on the promise of being reimbursed. For instance, Gregory Mandarano was duped into traveling to Indonesia multiple times in 2015, believing he was working with a rep from the legit China Film Group. Instead, he lost about $70,000 paying for drivers, translators, and 'fixers,' which was never reimbursed. Among others, Tahilramani posed as Kathleen Kennedy of Lucasfilm, former Paramount boss Sherry Lansing, and Rupert Murdoch's ex-wife, Wendi Deng.
